Transfer Rule Changing?

[polycom]

This is a good point bilas makes too.

Apparently, the NCAA doesn't even require sitting out for all sports

That is correct.

 

[the Q]

That is correct.

Which just proves it's about $$$ and controlling "assets" rather than about what is best for the student.

Correct. Which is why you many people complaining that allow students to do what they want would open the flood gates whatever that means. When in reality what would happen is coaches and universities would try to get students to come to their school all the time... So who is the transfer rule really helping?

Making the transfer rules consistent across all sports is the primary thrust behind this rule re-writing.

The rules should be the same across all sports.

The rules should be the same across all sports.

But again remember these are student athletes. Not employees, however only revenue generating sports have certain rules and others do not. The purpose of the NCAA is to protect students...right...

Interesting theory.

Schools start putting players in harder classes that will just barely keep them eligible but so they can't transfer freely?

Aren't the APR rules still in effect?

I believe so.

If the NCAA is leaning in this direction of granting a 1 time transfer without having to sit out, does this mean there is a greater chance that Sid Wilson is granted a waiver?

I don't believe the NCAA is leaning that way.

From the linked article above: >>There was a news story earlier this week suggesting such a development was imminent. It’s not. The NCAA directly responded to its publication with a link to a release about what the DI transfer group has been up to. Immediate eligibility barely is mentioned. And where it is, it's in the context of a committee referral that places it miles down the road.<<

NCAA will announce that Wilson is ineligible to play for UConn. 10 minutes later they will announce that the transfer rules have been changed.

And then take away 2 scholarships in 2019 for us having the gall to ask.
